Reacting in a statement on Wednesday, Secondus though his Media Adviser, Mr. Ike Abonyi, in Abuja, said Wike’s performance at the media engagement was an exhibition of “his well-known trait of  being economical with the truth, harbinger of half-truths and a mastermind of outright falsehoods just to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public to believe his brew by playing to the gallery and drawing some unwarranted applause and attention.”

Secondus further described Wike, his former political ally as, “a showman noted for his double-speak, twisting of facts to score some cheap political points, and someone who stands the truth on its head.”

He also described Wike’s utterances during the Abuja parley as “appalling and rather unfortunate, more so (when) he characterized our revered political leaders of Rivers State, casting them in bad light by referring to them as transactional politicians, political vampires, and political buccaneers.”
